Johnny Appleseed

Johnny Appleseed was a man named John Chapman who was born in 1774. He loved apples and he wanted to share his love for them with the world! So he traveled around the United States planting apple trees wherever he could. He would take apple seeds and plant them in the ground. Then, with a little love and care, the seeds would grow into apple trees. Johnny Appleseed was very successful in his mission and there are still many apple trees around the United States that were planted by him. People remember Johnny Appleseed as a kind and generous man who wanted to make the world a sweeter place!
